03/05/2025: I recently had the opportunity to dine at Antica Casa Rava and, while appreciating the friendliness of the staff and some specific aspects, the overall experience left me with some doubts.
I'll start by highlighting the great care and attention of the guy who served us: a real strength of the place, always available but never intrusive.
We opted to try two of their most representative dishes, the "Carborava" and the "Caciorava". I must admit that, despite being interesting vegan reinterpretations, the portions were rather small considering the price of €15.00 per dish. The sauces, while pleasant, didn't particularly excite me.
As a second course, the soy braised meat was undoubtedly well done, with a really good consistency. However, I found the lack of a side dish of vegetables a bit limiting, especially in relation to the size of the portion.
An honorable mention goes to the desserts: the tiramisu and their interpretation of the coppa del nonno were both exquisite and were the highlight of the meal.
We concluded with a coffee and two limoncellos. Regarding the latter, I noticed that they were served at room temperature. While I respected this choice, I would have appreciated being informed in advance, as a drink like limoncello, in my personal taste, is better when served cold.
The ambiance of the restaurant is certainly unique, with a style that recalls an old 1950s butcher's shop. Honestly, I didn't fully grasp the connection with the restaurant's vegan offerings, but I recognize the originality of the choice. The location, slightly outside the center, could be a factor to consider.
In summary, I found the staff very friendly and the food overall average, with peaks of excellence for the desserts. I wouldn't call the quality-price ratio cheap. At the moment, I don't think I'll be back, except perhaps to enjoy the excellent desserts again.
29/04/2025: First experience in a vegan restaurant, dishes presented very well, quality raw materials, but in my opinion not comparable to a traditional meal. I was attracted by the reviews and recommendations of friends but honestly it's not for me. For the same price there are much tastier options. Decent starters, disappointing first courses
